Holy wow!

Yes, what an awful story.

I saw the story on the national news this morning, tragic.

How tragic!! Prayers for recovery.

It's also on Fox where they state that an apartment below was fumigated and it should have been tented

When we were on St. John last week our on island friends didn't have much to more to say about the poisoning. They hadn't heard of any other cases and it seemed isolated. Terminix has been identified as the culprit. St. John Solutions was mentioned as a better low-impact holistic pest control company.

Cheers, RickG

Story was on GMA this morning as well.

God speed they fully recover then God speed in negotiating free vacays for life from the apt owner/mgr below and Terminix.

Don't think they'd ever go back!

Note that this pesticide is used in US strawberry fields...another reason to eat organic.

Thanks for the update Rita!
